The Moving Perch

Chital Stag n Common Mynas.
This image belongs to film era; more than 15 years old. Recently, I happen to find an old scan n decided to process it. In the vast meadows of perchless Dhikala (Corbett National Park), theses Mynas didn't get any bush to perch on. So when this Chital stag arrived on scene, they all jumped on to it.
Thank you so much for your kind attention & views!

Very neat photo

Chital are one of my favorite deer. I like the position the stag is in and all of the activity of the birds, IMHO makes this a very interesting image. Also good color and BG. Thanks for sharing.

Well taken, Jagdeep! The light is lovely and the contrast between the stoic stag and the frenetic activity of the Mynahs made me smile.

This is a fine capture, with the mynas making one really look closely!
